Tennis fans expressed their delight as Grigor Dimitrov made a stunning comeback by saving two match points to edge past Alex de Minaur in the quarterfinals of the Rotterdam Open.

The former World No. 3 forced the third set into a tie-break. However, with De Minaur leading 6-4 in the third set, Dimitrov did the unthinkable as he rallied to win the next four points to seal his spot in the semifinals. The final score read 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (8-6), in favor of the 31-year-old.
